Prove the consequences? I'm going to be generous and assume you meant "prove the actions". In this case, Trump ran for potus. He won and is now potus. That is the consequence I am referring to. To suggest that we excuse his inexperience in politics and grant him Mulligan after Mulligan is ludicrous. If we have to hold our leaders by the hand, are they really fit to lead?

Did I say we had to hold his hand through everything, once again it's about politics. Every president has advisors that walk them through these things. This is an easy one.

The issue is not what Trump leaked....you can make a strong argument that the information on ISIS methods is something that should be shared with other countries, even those who are not exactly our best buddies....but the incredibly inept,grandstanding way in which it was done.

You haven't a clue, it's obviously politics. It doesn't even matter about his intelligence when it comes to these kinds of things. The dumbest person in the world can walk right through when handled correctly. We're dealing with the left, they deal with everything through emotion.

Trump plus Intel plus Russians. Where are the politics, except in Trump's head?

No, I'm blaming him and the people around him. We all know what the disgusting left is about!

Do you think the "left" somehow set Trump up and then leaked a fake news
story?
No, that cannot be right.

Maybe you should read the rest of the Washington Post article.
There is a lot of information in the article, including what the consequences
of giving that intel to the Russians.

You know, for someone who clutched his pearls whenever Hillary's name
came up (well, those four downgraded emails could have started armageddon)
it is fascinating to watch the Trumpster's double down on the rightness of
giving away "the best intel" to Russian diplomats.

Kislyak, (spelling?) that guy no one can remember meeting ten times, was
also at the meeting.

Why would the POTUS want to give away intel that AMERICAN
men and women worked hard to get, and now, maybe someone will die because
of that idiot's pathological need to be right and the "best".

He probably thinks that the WaPo (and the outlets that confirmed the story) just made the whole thing up.

Doesn't that seem odd to put in an article that has an anonymous source?
They get right to the consequences? We might have a clue!

I'm not Catholic, don't have any pearls. I'm usually clutching a chainsaw.
